‼️ 12 U.S. senators - six Republicans and six Democrats - sent a letter to President Trump urging him to rescind the diesel deal with Russia.

"The deal you struck with President Vladimir Putin on October 9th will not achieve just ends, nor will it benefit Americans.

It only provides Putin with more fuel to finance his war machine and enables Russia to continue its brutal attacks on Ukrainian civilians. Granting Moscow the ability to sell Russian diesel freely in global markets damages American security interests and is a betrayal of the people of Ukraine, who continue to defend themselves from Putin’s murderous, illegal war. This deal is a gift to our adversary and a betrayal of our Allies; it should be rescinded.

For decades, America has stood as the bastion of freedom against tyranny, and American presidents have embodied our nation’s resistance to tyrants. Putin is a tyrant.

Withdraw from this agreement, rescind General License No. 135, and execute the authorities provided under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. Maintain our legacy - and the duty that America holds - as leader of the free world."

Top 3 Russian NATO Myths:

MYTH #1: NATO promised Soviet leaders never to expand east

REALITY: Gorbachev himself has confirmed there was no promise during the final years of the USSR. Nor is there any mention of a commitment not to expand east in any of the numerous subsequent treaties and agreements between NATO and Russia. As many have pointed out, it would have been ridiculous to offer promises regarding NATO’s eastward expansion at a time when the countries of Eastern Europe were still part of the Warsaw Pact.

MYTH #2: NATO is an expansionist empire encircling Russia

REALITY: Post-1991 NATO enlargement has been driven almost entirely by the new members themselves, who have joined due to their fear of renewed Russian aggression. Nobody has ever been pressured or coerced into joining NATO. On the contrary, all new members have been literally banging on the door to join the alliance.

MYTH #3: NATO enlargement poses a direct security threat to Russia

REALITY: Russia’s borders with NATO have been calm and stable for decades. Putin himself is clearly well aware that NATO poses no direct threat to Russia itself. When neighbouring Finland announced plans to join the alliance in 2022, he said it was “no problem” for Russia and has since withdrawn most Russian troops from the Finnish border. These are not the actions of a man who genuinely fears a NATO invasion. Putin only objects to NATO as it places limits on Russian imperial aggression

THERE’S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE — AND THIS COINCIDENCE IS TERRIFYING

Hours after reports emerged that the Trump administration threatened to cut U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Ukraine stopped striking Russian energy facilities, something very unusual happened in Kyiv.
At approximately 22:10 last night, Russia launched what Ukraine’s Air Force preliminarily identified as six ballistic missiles at Kyiv.

But this time, there was no advance air-raid warning.
The explosions came first. The sirens came afterward.

Ukraine’s Air Force confirmed that its radars detected the ballistic missiles only when the attack was already underway and, critically:
“No information about launches from enemy territory had been received. The reasons are being established.”

Why is that so disturbing?

Because advance information about Russian ballistic missile launches is precisely among the intelligence the United States provides Ukraine. Those precious minutes allow the air-raid warning to sound and civilians to run for shelter.

And just hours earlier, CNN and the Financial Times reported that Washington had threatened to suspend intelligence sharing if Ukraine continued attacking Russian energy infrastructure

Threat made.
Hours later, Russian ballistic missiles fly toward Kyiv.

No advance launch information reaches Ukraine.
No warning before the explosions.
Coincidence?

Maybe.
There is currently NO confirmation that the United States actually stopped sharing intelligence, and Ukrainian officials themselves are warning against premature conclusions. There can be technical explanations, including failures to detect particular launches.

But after Washington explicitly threatened to remove exactly this kind of support, what happened last night demands an immediate and transparent explanation.

Because if it is eventually confirmed that ballistic early-warning intelligence was deliberately withheld, we are no longer discussing diplomacy or political pressure.
We are discussing minutes that can determine whether Ukrainian civilians reach a shelter before a Russian missile arrives.

There may be an innocent explanation. But there’s no smoke without fire — and right now, there is a hell of a lot of smoke.

We must stop issuing tourist visas for Russian citizens across the EU.

I have invited other EU Member States to join a letter addressed to the European Commission. I am calling for a complete EU ban on Russian tourist visas for as long as Russia continues its war of aggression.

It is not right that Russians can travel to Europe to enjoy the way of life and freedoms here while their country bombs the homes of Ukrainians. Issuing visas to Russians for non-essential travel was banned in Finland already in 2022. The same must finally happen at the EU level.

I am also calling for a ban on Schengen visas to Putin’s inner circle, visa restrictions for Russian athletes, and the effective implementation of the visa ban on Russian combatants.

The EU must act together.

Objective facts:

Trump started a war in which US servicepeople have died.

Russia helps the enemy kill them.

Trump is supporting russia.

Donald Trump is a traitor. If you support him- you are a traitor. There is no debate, no whining, no screeching. Own it.

I actually have something to say to Trump.

Don't f### with Ukraine.
Really.

Don't pi$$ us off. That NEVER ends well.
We're not 'the long-suffering people of America', and our anger burns hotter than the heart of a star.

You come from a tame land. A land that has forgotten what freedom means.
Yes, THAT's what America is today.

So spout your s### within your borders.

"If Ukrainian soldiers, despite fierce resistance against the enemy and the loss of their comrades, haven't got tired of liberating Ukrainian land, and if Ukrainians, despite their grief and tears, haven't got tired of defending their children and their future, how can people somewhere in a safe country get tired of reading the news?"

"Please do not get used to this war, because if everyone gets used to it, this war will never end."

Don't stop supporting Ukraine, they need our help 🫂🇺🇦❤️

Funny thing: Ukraine takes out Russian data centers and “Zelensky” rises while “genocide” and “Free Palestine” drops off according to X’s Radar analytics page.

Anyone else seeing trends w/🇷🇺 bots muzzled?

Brilliant!

Why isn’t the US striking a deal with Ukraine for diesel supplies?

We are now buying diesel from a country that’s helping to kill our troops, because the illegal war we started that’s killing our troops, made diesel too expensive to buy from countries that aren’t killing our troops.

America first though, right?

[Radu Hossu 🇹🇩🇺🇦 @RaduHossu]

I'm testing the Russian bots, because traffic from Yandex bots is currently close to zero (check Cloudflare Radar). That's because Ukraine has imposed a ban on them — by firepower.

So I'm going to say the following things, which will most likely generate organic, authentic, human traffic, but without the bot traffic. Let's see:

* russia is a criminal state;
* russia is a terrorist state;
* russia is ruled by a criminal regime;
* Putin and the entire russian leadership, from 2014 and 2022 onwards, should find themselves inside the courtroom of The Hague Tribunal;
* Ukraine is defending itself against all of russia's attacks, pressure from the Trump Administration, and shipments of sophisticated components from around the world, including Europe;
* The Ukrainian people are, first and foremost, the ones whom we in Romania — and the Republic of Moldova as well (or especially) — should thank for keeping the russian Army at bay;
* The European Union is the best thing that has happened to Romania since the Great Union of 1918;
* The United States of America under Donald Trump has become nothing more than an empty shell of the values and principles it championed for decades;
* Donald Trump is a convicted common criminal, now also suspected of pedophilia and other forms of sexual abuse against girls and women in connection with the Epstein files;
* Elon Musk is an individual who has absolutely nothing to do with ethics or morality, not even remotely.

Feel free to add other things that might attract the bots' attention, and let's see whether they're still operating or not.

The day before yesterday, during negotiations in the United States, an incident reportedly took place that left the American delegation literally speechless.

When the Ukrainian representatives learned that sanctions against Putin were being lifted and that Washington was demanding an end to strikes on Russian oil refineries, Budanov allegedly responded in extremely harsh terms.

At the very end of the meeting, when the participants had already risen from the table and were heading toward the exit, he threw these words straight in the Americans’ faces:

“Now we’re going to fucking burn every Russian oil refinery and port to the fucking ground. Every last one!”

According to reports, the Americans were so stunned by what they heard that they couldn't find anything to say in response.

No objections, no threats, no usual diplomatic language. Just silence.

Washington received an unmistakable message: Ukraine has no intention of asking permission to defend itself against Russian aggression.

BREAKING:

Russia has just blatantly disrespected President Trump by violating the energy ceasefire he announced on Truth Social today. Russia violated the energy ceasefire in less than 12 hours, proving Putin is a liar.

Russia just attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which is less than 40 miles away from the Russian border.

Russia never keeps their word.
